Introduction
Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a condition that affects 5% of the United States adult population.
While some conflate it with its milder cousin, the 'winter blues,' its symptoms are identical to those of major depression and include fatigue, social withdrawal, and feelings of hopelessness.
World-renowned researcher and psychiatrist Dr. Norman Rosenthal led the team that first described SAD and pioneered light therapy treatment.
In this March 2022 episode of The Adult Chair podcast, Dr. Rosenthal speaks with host Michelle Chalfant about his research on the causes of this condition and offers science-backed advice on how to fight it.
